Katy Perry ft. Skip Marley - Chained to the Rhythm (2017 Song)
The world’s biggest and arguably the only legitimate popstar left has released the lead single for her 4th studio album. It has been more than 3 years since Katy Perry released a studio album and the wait has certainly been long. She released an Olympic song last year “Rise” …
The Grateful Dead - Don’t Ease Me In (Song)
Don’t Ease Me In is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their record Go To Heaven. The track starts off with a very upbeat sounding bit before the vocals of the track come in which only reinforce this feel to be honest. Although I’m not a …
Hush Hush by Pussycat Dolls
I am not a hug fan of the Pussycat Dolls, but I really like this song. And I think that what they are singing about in this song happens to a lot of couples at some point in their relationships. But sometimes, it gets a little out of hand …
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
It is ten years ago now since Eminem released his first studio album in the form of The Slim Shady LP. The album was ground breaking in a number of ways, but for me personally it was the first rap album that I ever listened to. Back in 1999 …

Leave Your Sleep by Natalie Merchant
This Album from Natalie Merchant had exceeded my expectations - which is not that tough, truth to be told; since Natalie Merchant had been very low-profile for a very long time, and I didn’t expect much from her.
Having said that, whenever a person said that something exceeded their …
Plan B - The Recluse - Single
When I first heard on Plan B I simply ignored his music. It seemed such an odd name I didn’t think that what he would produce would be anything that good but the more I listen the more I like this guy.
His varied style I really like, his songs …
Empire of The Sun - Walking on A Dream

The Music and Art that is Lykke Li
Although not well known in the United States until her song “Possibility” was featured on the “New Moon” movie soundtrack, Swede Lykke Li was already well known in her native country.

Opeth have always been a band of new beginnings, and on their fifth release “Blackwater Park”, they change it all up again.
Opeth are critically acclaimed for their re-invention of Death Metal back in the early Ninties. Fusing Folk and Death Metal and creating music that almost borders on the …
Take That - Patience - Single
Something a little different to some of their newer releases. Patience. A slower track, clear but very easy to listen to.
It’s not so directly about love this time. I think it’s probably about a relationship break down that has the potential to be reignited.
The reason why I like this …
Let’s Get Married by Jagged Edge
This has got to be the most creative way to ask someone to marry you, but I have to admit that it is a bit weird. But Jagged Edge makes weird sound really good. I know that if someone asked me to marry them like this and they sounded …

Katatonia The Great Cold Distance CD
Katatonia is a great band. They always have been. The actual music of the band is complex, inventive and catchy, all without being “sold out” or “poppy”. “The Great Cold Distance” is no exception. The instrumentation is complex, edgy, hard and very evolved from their previous works. There is …
“Break” by Three Days Grace Music Video

Sonic Nurse, 2004 Album by Sonic Youth
